Win 2008 WL 10.3.3 stdout appearing in .log and .out files

Question

Recently noticed a ballooning [ServerName].out file in the logs directory. In weblogic management console I do have it configured to redirect stdout and stderr to weblogic logging (.log file). Both the .log and .out file contain the same stdout/stderr information. I would like to eliminate the .out file if possible (since WL only rotates the .log), but cannot find where it is configured. The managed servers are NOT windows services (no -log option).
Did not find any logging parameters in JAVA_OPTIONS or paramters in the startManagedSvc.cmd file.
Is this something needing to be corrected at the application level? (log4j)

Here is a snippet of the log4j configuration file that denotes writing to the console:
    <appender name="ConsoleAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss} %-5p [%t] - %C{1}.%M -> %m%n" />
        </layout>
      </appender>
    <root>
        <level value="ALL" />
        <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />
    </root>Edited by: ForumKid2 on Dec 29, 2010 11:36 AM
